The battle over the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles came to an impasse primarily due to partisan divisions in the U.S. Senate, particularly between President Woodrow Wilson and Senate Republicans led by Henry Cabot Lodge. Wilson's refusal to compromise on the League of Nations, which many senators feared would entangle the U.S. in foreign conflicts, fueled opposition. Additionally, concerns over national sovereignty and the treaty's implications for U.S. foreign policy further complicated negotiations, ultimately leading to the treaty's rejection.

USA did not reject treaty of Versailles. After the elections of 1918 US senate was controlled by Republican Party. However, even the party remained divided over Treaty of Versailles and it was not possible to gain two third majority in senate for ratification of the treaty. That is the reason why USA did not ratify the treaty despite being a pivotal force behind its passage.
